Rose Romantic Truffle: Photo courtesy of Modern Dwellers Chocolate LoungeThere is a new sweet spot downtown. Modern Dwellers Chocolate Lounge (751 East 36th Ave Suite 105, 677-9985) just opened an additional location at 423 G Street – where Alaska Glass Studio previously resided. The space is just as vibrant and full of contemporary art as the midtown location and has bonus seating options made out of playground spring animals.

The artisan truffles and rich drinking chocolate are the same as all of the cocoa goodness will continue to be made at the original dwelling and shared with the new.

The downtown storefront is surrounded by other art venues and optimally set to participate in first Friday festivities. The shop plans to get involved in first Friday once everything is settled in and the bustle of the romantic holiday dies down.

For Valentine’s Day, both locations are offering a special truffle, the Rose Romantic, which combines dark chocolate and rosebuds.
